Fremantle

Jesse Hogan

The Dockers have already confirmed that star key forward Jesse Hogan will not return to full training before Christmas after undergoing surgery on his right foot. After initial fears over the future of Hogan's career, the 24-year-old has reportedly made good progress in his recovery, but the club has maintained a no-risk approach.

Hogan kicked just 13 goals from 12 games in 2019, his first year at Fremantle, but will be a crucial component of Justin Longmuir's team if he can remain fit. The former Melbourne player will be hoping he can replicate the form which saw him kick 47 goals in the Demons' successful 2018 campaign.
